Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu would have never expected that the man he was looking for the past few weeks would turn up in front of him, dead. Indeed, the dead body that he found behind the rock was none other than Gan Ma, the leader of the hunter group, and also one of the only five cultivators in the town.

Lin Mu could not understand why he would turn up dead here. It was obvious that it was the six men that had killed Gan Ma and but the question was why?

Lin Mu looked around and did not notice any specific signs of struggle, which made him think that Gan Ma was killed rather quickly. He checked Gan Ma's body and found that the only wound he had was on his neck. Though weirdly, it was bandaged, and it seemed as if it was done after his death.

"Why would they bandage his neck after his death?" Lin Mu muttered.

"Check the other men, maybe you'll get some hints." Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu nodded and withdrew every dead body that he had stored in the ring and checked them. Out of the six people, two were cultivators while the rest of them were in the 9th stage of the body tempering realm. One of the cultivators was at the mid-stage of the Qi refining realm, while the other was at the early stage of the qi refining realm.

In a small town like the Northern town, any cultivator was a big deal and commanded great respect. For two unknown cultivators to just appear randomly was extremely strange. Even the other four men that were in the 9th stage of the body tempering realm could be considered to be at the top levels of strength in the town.

Lin Mu removed the cloth that was covering their faces and tried to identify them. He did not find any of them familiar, except for one person. It was the person named second brother that he found familiar. He could not place his finger on where exactly he saw that person, but knew that he must be influential.

Lin Mu also checked the bodies for other items and found many things on them. He took their swords and the thin chain mail armor that they were wearing under their clothes. He also found a set of throwing daggers on all of them. The total number of daggers was around 29.

Lin Mu then found a small vial that was filled with a black liquid that smelled sweet on the person called second brother.

"Careful, that's the Pulse cutting poison." Xukong sternly warned.

Lin Mu's eyes went wide as he hurriedly closed the small vial.

"That was close, but why does it smell so pleasant?" Lin Mu asked.

"So that people find it easy to drink, it's also sweet in taste. Though it does not have any effect unless it enters your body, either through a wound or your mouth." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu then remembered the small dagger that had nearly hit him before. That dagger seemed to be covered with a black liquid too. He went to the place where the dagger was lying and picked it up. He caught a whiff of the same sweet smell.
